The next stop in our travels was Bundaberg where we were originally planning to spend a couple of nights, but ended up staying three nights at the Wyper Park Scout Camp. We found this little gem on Wikicamps and at only $10, this awesome little camp had showers and toilets and heaps of space for the …

We found paradise in 1770
Why Captain Cook didn’t decide to drop anchor and stick around a bit I’ll never understand! We’ve spent 3 days at Seventeen Seventy and we love it. A stunning piece of the Queensland coast with the most gorgeous sunset over the ocean you’ll ever see – particularly on the East coast given the sun sets …
Home to Poontown
No matter how long you’ve lived away from your hometown, the minute you’re back in the vicinity it always seems like you’ve come home. I moved away from Yeppoon the minute I finished high school. A friend and I threw everything we had into a bunch of bags, caught the tilt train and moved to …
A month of stats – first month in
Ok, so this is a few days late, but we've always found it fascinating when people post up the stats of their trips and so we've been keeping a few of our own... Every month we'll post up the stats of our trip. 29 August - 29 September 2016 Total kms – 5594km Amount of kms …
Hightailing it to Longreach
After we left Gemtree, the mission was on to make it to the coast in time for my 20 year high school reunion on the 1st October. This meant some big days of travelling simply to make the miles, but we also wanted to make sure we saw a few of the things we wanted to …
A gem of a place
When undertaking research and sussing out where other families had gone and recommended on their trips around the country, time and time again Gemtree came up in my research and so I had said to Corey we had to go there. Orginally planning 4 or 5 days there, unfortunately we were only able to stay …
A town like Alice
Now, you can't write a blog post about Alice Springs and not use the title above now, can you?! Originally we’d planned to spend a couple of days in Alice, but of course our clutch issues and subsequent loss of time meant that we had to cut a few things. Unfortunately Alice was one of …
Kings Canyon – or at least the bottom of it!
One of the things we reconciled in the research phase of this trip was that there were some things that we wouldn't be able to see and do with two small young humans and the Kings Canyon Rim Walk which everyone raves about ended up being one of those things. Unfortunately, the reality is that …

Uluru awakenings
We posted quite a few pics of our short time spent at Uluru and Kata Tjuta on social media so we won’t rehash it all, but here are a few things that you may not have known about this iconic Aussie tourism destination and that we discovered as we explored the region. 1. It’s not …
The Uluru that wasn’t…
We’d done a fair bit of research in preparation for this trip. And in particular we’d sussed out what there was to see at Uluru. But in all my reading and research, not once did I come across this little surprise: See it in the distance?? We saw the rock peaking over the horizon and …
